AUSTIN ROGERS MIX-UPWill the real Austin Rogers please stand up? Gossip site Defamer.com took note of an amusing mix-up recently involving IMDb.com, the Internet Movie Database. It appears Euro-hunk Austin Rogers had a recent credit — FUCK FACTORY for director Csaba Borbely and Private Man — applied to a mainstream actor with the same name who happens to be all of twelve years old. Oops. Within hours of Defamer poking fun at the mistake, IMDb.com editors fixed the mistake. Heh. Okay, so that’s not brilliant comedy; gimme a break, it’s slow this time of year.

JASON’S OUTJason Sechrest of JasonCurious.com is out as host of the weekly “COCKtails with the Stars” at Micky’s nightclub in West Hollywood. Apparently there was some kind of brouhaha involving Mr. Sechrest, Rascal Exclusive Luca DiCorso and director Doug Jeffries, which resulted in Mr. Sechrest taking a powder from the gig for two weeks to keep the peace while dragstress/director Coco Lachine manned the microphone. Well, before the two weeks were up Mr. Sechrest was replaced in favor of new Cybersocket magazine editor Scott Boardman.

In the meantime, if you find yourself in Boys Town, check out the “COCKtails” show. Mickys.com is the website.

RIP: KRISTIAN BROOKS, BRANDY DALTON
It is my unfortunate duty to report on the passing of two members of our community. This week I was able to confirm that that performer Kristian Brooks has died. He passed from AIDS at a hospice in Colorado, according to a family friend. He was 35 years old.

Kristian Brooks was a popular star in the late ’90s and appeared in over 30 titles between 1997 and 1999, many of them considered classics of the era. His acclaimed performances include DREAM TEAM (Studio 2000, 1999) and FAMILY VALUES (Men of Odyssey, 1997) for legendary director Jerry Douglas, as well as FEVER (Falcon Studios, 1998), HARDCORE (All Worlds Video, 1998), HIGH TIDE (Falcon, 1997), PRAGUE RISING (Studio 2000, 2000), REFORM SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL (All Worlds, 1997) and TIME COPS (Centaur Films, 1998). He appeared on several box covers including HOTTER THAN LIFE (All Worlds, 1997).

More details are forthcoming, including remembrances from those who knew him well. On a personal note, I worked with Kristian Brooks and got to know him on the set of DREAM TEAM. He was talkative, bright and always had an anecdote related to his sexcapades that had the cast and crew in stitches. That’s how I’ll remember him. Our deep condolences to his family, friends and fans.

And last week I confirmed the news that musician Brandy Dalton of the band Drance died August 4th. Mr. Dalton passed from AIDS, a disease he lived with for 17 years. A longtime habitue of the Los Angeles underground scene, Mr. Dalton in the 1980s began performing with his boyfriend Robert Woods, eventually forming the techno/electronica band Drance; Mr. Woods passed from AIDS in 1995. Together and separately, Mr. Dalton and Drance won numerous awards scoring many of gay adult’s classic films, notably the acclaimed FALLEN ANGEL series for Titan Media, as well as many titles for MSR Videos, including the PROWL series. Our deep condolences to his family and friends.
